Pros
Being a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary provides financial stability in otherwise volatile economic environments. Berkshire also provides employees access to steep discount programs. Excellent benefits, including Medical (Anthem BCBS/Kaiser), Dental, Vision, FSA/HSA, short-term and long-term disability, critical illness, supplemental life, etc. Very low deductibles and out-of-pocket maxes. The employer pays the total cost of parking or an RTD pass. 3% 401k match upfront. Annual Variable Incentive Plan (VIP) with annual raises and up to an additional 4% 401k match dependent on meeting plan. Annual PTO bank with new employees receiving 15 days + 4 floating holidays + 7 Federal holidays. Unlimited sick leave. Corporate employees work a flexible schedule with 2 days remote and 3 days in the office per week. Ample opportunities for training, continuing education, and professional development. Tuition assistance is available. Mobility available within the company to transfer internally to other positions. Strong Senior Leadership team. Significant focus on volunteerism, community-building, and supporting local non-profit partners.
Cons
Very traditional, conservative corporate culture has led to significant turnover, but senior leadership is aware and working to make changes for the better, including implementing flexible schedules. Company culture varies from team to team - employee satisfaction seems to vary based on the strength of middle management. Historically lacking in Diversity and Inclusion (DI) efforts, but senior leadership is aware of this as well. The company is taking significant action internally to improve DI within the company.
